Movie Reviews of Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis
Movie Review: Excellent.... and disturbing.
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen this movie since it was first released in the early '90's but I still remember the strong reaction I had to what the survivor's of the USS Indianapolis endured after their ship was sunk in the last part of WWII. I don't want to get into the details so that I don't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie. However, I will say that even after all these years I still remember the excellent acting of the cast, of whom the most memorable for me were Stacy Keach, Richard Thomas, and David Caruso.
UPDATE 8/2/07
I received my dvd yesterday and can now tell you about the quality of the transfer. The picture quality is not bad, it is not HD quality but I didn't notice any problems like graininess, or scratches, or anything like that. It is not any better or worse than a typical cable broadcast program. The sound is also about average, so don't expect to get blown out of your seat.
The story is a very powerful one that once you see it you won't be likely to forget it.
